Safety Mirror Considered For Saucon Ave.

Lower Saucon Township Council may have an answer to the Saucon Avenue dilemma.

Discussion on whether or not to make Saucon Avenue a one-way street will continue at 7:30 tonight during council's reorganizational meeting.

Steel City residents are concerned over a safety problem at Riverside Drive and Saucon Avenue. Council has considered making Saucon Avenue one-way because of poor visibility at the intersection. But some have said that is not necessary, and council has sought other solutions.

The latest possibility, according to Township Manager James McCann, is a mirror at the intersection, if the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation would allow one. The effectiveness of the mirror would be tested. A neighbor has said the top layer or two of a retaining wall could be removed if necessary, McCann said.
